Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

56 and 34

Solution :

The correct answer is 56 and 34.


To find the largest and second largest fractions among the given set, we can convert each fraction into its decimal form or compare them by finding a common denominator.


Let's convert each fraction to its equivalent decimal value:

1. 56 ≈ 0.833

2. 34 = 0.75

3. 12 = 0.5

4. 23 ≈ 0.667

5. 35 = 0.6


Now, let's arrange the fractions in descending order (from largest to smallest) based on their decimal values:

56 (0.833) > 34 (0.75) > 23 (0.667) > 35 (0.6) > 12 (0.5)


From the ordered list, we can clearly see that:

- The largest fraction is 56.

- The second largest fraction is 34.


Therefore, the largest and second largest fractions, respectively, are 56 and 34.
